Can I put an Anemone in my tank? I know puffer eat invertebrates, but not sure with Anemones?


Thanks

Would need to know more about your tank. How long has it been established? What SG? Lighting?

Right now my tank is a 92 gallon corner, but I am up sizing to a 200 next week. My current tank as been up for 6 months...

Lightning I have figured out yet, I would get what ever needed.

this is the one I am looking at. It's my friends and he's trying to get rid of it.

You're going to need at minimum, several T5 lights, all with individual reflectors. SG needs to be at 1.026. Do you have a skimmer?

Yeah I have a Octopus skimmer with a 250 gallon rating. I will be up grading to a 400 gallon skimmer in a few months.

Here are two lights that I am looking at...are they suitable?

That 1st one looks pretty $$$. The 2nd one, I can't tell if they have individual reflectors, can you?

Here is where I buy my lighting supplies: http://www.reefgeek.com. They are great for advising on the phone, too.

Thanks for the site...I am looking at getting to of these for my 8ft tank

You're going to need 2 of those for an 8' tank. I highly suggest building a canopy & installing the bulb fixtures yourself, it's way cheaper. Did you read bulbs sold separately? You're talking about a ton of $$$ here! Reefgeeks is great for recommendations on what fixtures & color bulbs to get.

What type of puffer is going into this tank?

Stars and stripes puffer

I know, the money's not a huge deal. I just wanna get the lighting right the first go a round. I have a canopy on the tank, a nice one. Maybe I can just install the reflectors right on the canopy, that might be the best way.
